Not really, he sold a lot of Cub assets during the rebuild to acquire draft picks and prospects, then they did their homework in the scouting department and drafted well. They actually developed their players in the minor's and taught the players "The Cub Way" of doing things.. I believe he put together a list or hand-out of "The Cub Way" as a guide for the minor and major league players to follow and what was expected of them in the Big Leagues. It's called accountability, not letting the inmates run the asylum like the Sox way of doing things.
